I'm the second owner, and the original owner purchased the car at Advantage Ford in Calgary.
(NOTE: 'TMS' in the ad below stands for 'The Mustang Shop' in Calgary)

(All parts listed were purchased new from TMS unless noted)
- FRPP 03-04 Cobra Front lower control arms with improved balljoints and improved bushings
- M/M Bumpsteer tie rod ends.
- Energy Suspension Front rack bushings
- M/M Rear lower control arms
- Ford Racing 'B' Springs front and back
- Tokico HP Struts/Shocks.
- M/M 4 bolt C/C plates.
- Y2K Cobra R 18x9 wheels with 275/35/18 BFG KDW2's
- Replaced factory rear swaybar (improved design purchased from ford)
- Replaced front wheel bearing hubs (Ford) and brakes and rotors (Tirerack OEM) 2 driving seasons ago (about 4 years now since its barely been driven).
Engine/Transmission/Drivetrain Mods/Upgrades:
- Kenne Bell 1.5L Supercharger (non-intercooled). Pullies for 5.5, 7.5, 9.5 and 12 psi. 9.5 and 12psi never run by me on this car. Tuned by Matt @TMS
- 90mm LMAF, 39# injectors and 255lph Walbro intake fuel pump.
- JLT Cold Air Intake
- SCT Xcal3 handheld programmer
- SCT Pro Racer tuning package - bound to the computer ID in the car. Had aspirations to tune myself and never followed thru. This is a $600 package new.
- Zeitronix ZT-2 Wideband O2 and ZR2 gauge installed in a aftermarket dash bezel.
- New correct ford battery and factory battery insulated blanket (from Ford)
- Basanni X-Pipe with high flow cats
- FRPP 03-04 Cobra Aluminum Radiator
- New T-45 transmission 2 seasons ago
- MGW T-45 Shifter
- 03-04 Cobra Aluminum flywheel/clutch/pressure plate with new Ford clutch cable, pilot bearing and TOB and a UPR clutch quadrant and firewall adjuster 2 seasons ago
- Ford Racing Aluminum driveshaft
- Completely rebuilt 8.8 (seals + all bearings, and limited-slip clutches) with Ford racing 3.73 gears.
The car made 312/312 or so on the TMS dyno at 5.5 PSI which is pretty much spot on - Stock 96-98 Cobras usually dyno at @255 hp/tq on 'MD' style dynos, so at 10hp/psi (KB's guideline) 312 is right on. The 5.5 psi tune is for 91 octane, but I have run the 7.5 PSI pulley with 91 octane and a bottle of lucas octane boost in a tankful for the past 2 seasons now with no issues. There is probably another 20 RWHP in adding longtube headers to the car, but I liked the way the car sounded and the clearance over speed bumps with the stock exhaust plus Bassanni X Pipe.
I've spent a decent amount of cash on replacing some worn interior pieces with parts from TMS and from Latemodelresto.com (FR500 Steering wheel, floor mats, new gauge cluster lens, etc).
I also have a bunch of parts for this car, some original take-offs and some new:
Factory 97 rims
Original tranny, need 1-2 gear synchros replaced, otherwise fine.
All the original parts I have replaced on the car (intake, rad, headlights, shifter, etc etc)
New handmade leather parking brake handle boot.
Coil Pack to COP Conversion Harness made by 'RedMonster' on svtperformance + COP valvecovers from an 03 mach1
A ton of documentation including the SVT Build Certificate, Ford's 96 Cobra introduction DVD, most if not all receipts for parts/work on the car, etc.
Book/DVD on building 4.6 DOHC motors from Sean Hyland
I took the car to the Racecity 1/4 mile track in Calgary once shortly before it closed. Best time was a 12.4 at 106.5 on the KDW-2 street tires. This was running 9.5 PSI with 4 bottles of lucas octane boost in the tank to be safe. Thats the only time I've run the 9.5PSI pulley and the only time the car has seen the 1/4 mile. At 9.5PSI, the car should be making another 50HP over the MD Dyno numbers quoted above. My guess is dynojet numbers would be in the low to mid 400's at 9.5PSI.
